Yuzuki● |
| ○Rinnan | Iwatani Mayu | |
Following their 3-WAY match the previous day, STARS' Mayu Iwatani and Yuzuki teamed up again to face Oedo Tai's Starlight Kid and Rina. Yuzuki, whose departure from Stardom at the end of this month has been announced, will be looking to showcase her talents in this tag team with her idol, Iwatani. She will want to demonstrate her high potential against Kid and Future of Stardom Champion Rina.
As Iwatani is called last, Oedo Tai attacks. They isolate Yuzuki, and Kid and Rina work together to attack. Kid performs a standing moonsault. Rina delivers a hair whip. Rina complains to Iwatani, who is urging them to call out Yuzuki's name, saying, "You're too noisy!" Rina corners Yuzuki and stomps on her face. Kid takes a series of elbows from Yuzuki, gets back up, and takes her down in one hit. Yuzuki is not thrown to the ropes and delivers a hurricanrana followed by a dropkick. Iwatani enters and delivers a dropkick to Kid, dodging his charge and delivering another dropkick. Kid lands a body attack and a dropkick from the second base. "You damn icon!" Rinami shouts, delivering a running double knee attack to Iwatani. Iwatani lands a soccer ball kick but only gets a two count.

Rinami stops Yumizuki's charge and calls in Kid. Kid delivers a 619 followed by a double outer leg sweep. Rinami pulls Yumizuki up and delivers a Northern Lights suplex, but Iwatani makes the save. Rinami goes for the Pink Devil, but Iwatani delivers a thrust kick, and Yumizuki rolls her up. However, Kid's cut was successful. Kid interfered with Yuzuki's charge, and Rina delivered a reverse brainbuster. When Yuzuki kicked out, Rina hit the Pink Devil. The referee counted to three, and Rina defeated Yuzuki.
Rina: "Yuzuki, I hear you're leaving Stardom, but I had a great fight with you for the Future belt, and you're one of the most talented rookies, and it was fun fighting against you, but no matter where you go, no matter where you have a match, I'll never lose to you. Let's do it again. Isn't it true that there are no more wrestlers in Stardom who want to fight for this belt?"
Kid: "That's true. So, from now on, you should involve other organizations and keep defending the belt more and more!"
Rookie Rian entered the ring.
Rian: "I'm Rian, and I'll be making my debut on the 30th (in Sendai). It's still too early for me to be a future wrestler, but my ideal is a fast, strong, and energetic wrestler like Kid. I have a lot to learn from fighting Kid, who used to be a high-speed wrestler. So Kid, please let me have your debut match."
Rina: "Hey! Isn't it supposed to be me?! Don't mess with me. Fine. It takes a lot of guts to fight Kid in your debut match. This belt is definitely still too early for you, you idiot!"
Rina leaves the ring.
Kid: "Yeah, I guess the flow was to go to Rinami now! But you've nominated SLK for his debut match. What do you think? Well, well, well, if you ask me, I'll do it. SLK, the former Future and High Speed Champion, will have his debut match. But it looks like there's only about a week left until the Sendai tournament, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do. So train hard until then, Rian."
Rian: "Please!"
Rian extends her hand for a handshake, but Kid refuses and leaves the ring.

A 12-person tag team match between Giulia, Maika, Shuri, Natsupoi, MIRAI, and Mai Sakurai against Tam Nakano, Saori Anno, Sayaka Kurei, Ami Sorei, Saki Kashima, and Ranna Yagami. Giulia's team features a full lineup of Donna del Mondo members, both old and new. With Giulia, MIRAI, and Sakurai about to leave the company, DDM is formed for one day only. Their opponents are a combined force of Cosmic Angels and God's Eye. This is another luxurious combination that would normally never happen. And Nakano and Giulia, who had a fierce singles match in Nagoya on March 20, will face each other again. Will this be a continuation of that match, or something else?
Nakano's team enters one by one, while DDM appears to Giulia's old theme music and stands in front of the stained glass. Giulia leads the charge, uniting them with "Let's go for the DDM finale!" She then sends Maika, whose birthday is that day, out first, saying "Go for the birthday girl!" The Nakano team all leave the ring at once, leaving only Kashima.

Giulia: "Hello everyone who came to the Kyoto show! Hello everyone! Are you all excited? Let's get even more excited! First of all, we only disbanded this year, but today, for the last day only, we've reunited Donna del Mondo. Let's give a round of applause to President Okada for putting together this match. Thank you. At one point, Donna del Mondo had eight members. Tekla and Himeka, who has retired, aren't here today. I think it was a miracle that all eight of us were together, and to me, we were all a source of pride and our youth. However, I believe that youth is only one page in a book. As long as we're doing pro wrestling and as long as you're passionate about pro wrestling, our youth will last a lifetime. So keep your eyes on us from now on!" So, today we'd like to do that special closing. Tekla, and Himeka, Sakurai, MIRAI, Natsupoi, Akari, Maika, and Giulia. This is really the last one. The women who burst forth into the world, Donna del Mondo, Arrivederci, see you again!!"

Amasaki: "Just as Utami was a prodigy in Stardom, I am a rising star in Stardom. In the future of Stardom, I will work hard in this Stardom ring until I reach the top and can have a singles match against Utami again and win."
Utami: "Well then, I'll be watching over you as you promise to reach the top of Stardom, and when that happens, let's have another singles match. I have to thank Kyoto for producing such a rising star. Everyone, please look forward to Amasaki Mitsuyoshi reaching the top!"

Hanan & Iida Saya are defending their NEW BLOOD Tag Team Championship for the second time. Their challengers are Tsukiyama Waka & HANAKO of E neXus V, who have been persistently challenging for the title. For HANAKO, who hails from Kyoto, this is a great opportunity to win the title for the first time in her hometown. However, the champions, Hanan, are on a roll, having just won the Cinderella Tournament. Iida, who formed the Golden Generation Quartet at the Nara tournament the day before, was also greatly inspired by that match, so the challengers are expected to have a tough time. Nevertheless, there is also the possibility that the large HANAKO will overwhelm the champions with her power, so the outcome of the match will not be clear until it is over. Will the momentum-driven wing☆gori Hanan & Iida team defend their title, or will Tsukiyama & HANAKO win the title for the first time?

Iida: "Ah, ah. We've defended the title for the third time. Ah, ah, HANAKO, Tsukiyama, it was so much fun, so much fun that my memory is a bit hazy. It was so exciting with you guys that it blew my mind."
Hanan: "HANAKO, Tsukiyama, you were great! Your emotions were exploding! I thought you two could show even more emotion, so we stretched it out and stretched it out until this title match. But you can do even better, so come challenge us again someday."
HANAKO: "I wanted to wear the belt in my hometown of Kyoto. I'm so frustrated." Tsukiyama
: "I'll start practicing from scratch again, get stronger and stronger, grow and then..."
HANAKO: "I'll get stronger and stronger and challenge you guys for your belts, so just wait!"
Iida: "Well, this Kyoto tournament was the main event. It was our NEW BLOOD tag team title defense, so this Kyoto tournament was our last tournament." You guys gave us an intense fight, HANAKO, Tsukiyama, let's close out this Kyoto tournament with these four. Are you ready, damn it? We are New Blood!
Comments from Tsukiyama Waka & HANAKO
HANAKO: "Through the process of this challenge up to today, we were able to find a lot of areas where we need to improve, so we will start from scratch again, practice together, gain experience, and definitely challenge those two again."
Tsukiyama: "Actually, we were saying that we would have a title match here in HANAKO's hometown and take the belt, but that will have to wait until next time! Next time in Kyoto, I don't know if we will have a title match then or if we will already have the belt, but we will definitely take it."
HANAKO: "We will come back stronger, so just wait for us!"
Comments from Saya Iida and Hanan
Comments from Hanan & Iida team:
Hanan: "We successfully defended our title."
Iida: "It was a close call. I'm talking to them now, not knowing where they are, but I can see how much those two have grown since the day they said they wanted to take on a challenge.
